Welcome to the group! To really answer you question I’d need to know  
what you’re interested in. However, in the general sense there is plenty  
to be done.

Options for you:

1. Hop in and help me with testing. I could use work writing .NET  
interop tests, porting old tests to RubySpec or even writing tests  
RubySpec hasn’t written yet.
2. Pick a library, either Standard, Gem, or even incomplete builtin and  
help get it running.
3. Help write sample apps. We could use examples of using a Ruby lib  
like RSpec to test a .NET app, or a mixed app in .NET and Ruby, or  
anything else you’d like.
4. Write some documentation on the wiki. Some of our stuff is out of  
date. Some stuff just isn’t there.

So whatever you’d like to do, let us know and we’ll point you in the  
right direction.
